Rafaela Cinnamon Desktop freeze on Resume [SOLVED]

Post by pgmer6809 »

This is very disappointing.
I have been waiting for months, ever since I upgraded to Mint 17 for a solution to this problem. (see previous posts by pgmer6809). I had high hopes for cinnamon 2.6. But alas the problem persists.
After Resuming from suspend. I get the wallpaper desktop with the original image of the 'shutdown dialog' still there. The mouse will move but clicks don't work and the keyboard wont work either.
CTL-ALT-BSP has no effect. CTL-ALT-SYSREQ -REISUB will work. CTL_ALT_DEL no effect. CTL-ALT-F1 gets to the login prompt.

The situation is pretty much the same with the NVIDIA 331 driver or the NOUVEAU driver.

If I 'suspend' from the login screen, and resume, I get back to the login screen, and the keyboard will let me enter username and password. but then the system hangs.
I need a hard RESET button to recover.

I don't know what is wrong with MINT. Non of Kubuntu, Ubuntu, or XFCE have this problem.

You might try upgrading to newer kernel.
Update Manager -> View -> Linux kernels -> select latest 3.16 series 3.16.0.41 or latest 3.19 series 3.19.0-21 -> Install
Reboot to complete upgrade.

Thanks SOOOO much for that.
I chose the recommended 3.16 kernel, and it now works with no problems.
This is great. I was no happy using Kubuntu, I much prefer Mint.

Thanks again.
